A lovely photo/poem combo.
The fact these Lady Slippers are "worn by fairy folk" will make this poem popular with young readers.
I had no idea they were Minnesota's state flower.

NIcely done poem mixing reality with fantasy. They do look like fairy wings.
Did you take this photo of the flower. If you did you have two talents.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

I sure didn't know this about the Lady slippers. How sweet this is. And the little fairy is adorable. It is a pretty flower and the shape does remind you of slippers. It also looks very delicate.
It is quite a good entry for the contest.
I wish you lots of luck.

    Thank you for such a nice review. They do look delicate, you'd think that hardy Minnesota would pick something more durable for their state flower.. thanks again. :)

From your picture, they really do like a pair of slippers. I'm sure they look dapper on the fairy folk that wears them. Do they sell them at the Fairy Folk Shoe store? This is a cute entry for the contest. Good luck!

That is a pretty flower. There are so many beautiful flowers that cover the world they should be shared more.

I like how your piece was informative and mystical. You brought out more than just a flower. You tell your reader where they are and the belief that surrounds them.

I liked the poem. These shorter forms can be the most difficult. The photos were great as well.
The line "Worn by fairy folk" brought up great images.

I love Ladys' Slipper. We had white ones in West Virginia where I was born. In Maine we have pink and it is or state flower, too. The first time I saw them, I'd raked up all the leaves in a little wooded are with lost of stones and up popped the gorgeous pink flower. They were so beautiful and delicate. Thank you for writing a tribute for them.
